PROVIDING MORAL AND EDUCATIONAL GUIDANCE

HerStory:  A Cultural Celebration

To start of the new year, the Metro-Atlanta Professional Chapter of SISTUHS, Inc. produced their first HerStory production showcasing black holiday traditions and the experience of African-American women through poetry, music, dancing, storytelling and more!  The event highlighted traditional Christmas celebrations, Kwanzaa, and the Bahamian traditions of Junkanoo.  Members of the chapter shared the importance of the 7 Principles of Kwanzaa and the history or Junkanoo.  A special performance of Hey Black Child was delivered by the daughters, niece, and god-daughter of MAP members.

PROMOTING SPIRITUAL GROWTH

Georgia Regional Women's Retreat

On May 15, 2021, members of the Georgia Region of SISTUHS, Inc. held their 1st annual Women’s Retreat.  The retreat was designed to promote spiritual growth, while creating an opportunity for members to engage, bond, and build lasting relationships.  Members of the Greater Augusta Professional, Kennesaw State University, and Metro-Atlanta Professional chapter collaborated to plan an amazing event.  The goal of the program was to strengthen the bonds and relationships within the chapters, build members professionally, and to hone in on the importance of self-care. Not only did we have the opportunity to bond and learn, we also had the opportunity to give back to the community. As a region, we donated over 500 can goods to a local food pantry in the metro-Atlanta area.  A huge ‘Thank You’ to the Greater Augusta Professional Chapter for donating over 300 can goods alone.  Without service, there’s truly no SISTUHhood.  The retreat was nothing short of amazing.  We loved, laughed, and stood in the gaps for one another. In the words of Ava Duvernay, “we should conjure sisterhood wherever we can;” and we did just that!

PERSISTING ON THE DEVELOPMENT OF LOCAL LEADERSHIP

Voter Educational Series

The mission of the Voter Educational Series is to actively educate and assist voters in properly preparing and planning their votes in the 2024 election.  The series provided an opportunity for MAP to be active in the community and educate members of our community on the importance of voter registration, exercising their right to vote, and understanding the ballot.  Our goal was to encourage members of our community to vote in an important election for Georgia and make them aware of the proposed amendments to the ballot.
